The dotNetRDF Project uses Mercurial as our VCS.
Currently we our maintaining the following repositories as our official repositories. We use BitBucket for our day to day development and periodically push changes to the repositories at SourceForge which we use as a central repository of our project releases and source code.
- http://hg.code.sf.net/p/dotnetrdf/code
- http://hg.code.sf.net/p/dotnetrdf/binaries-stable
- http://hg.code.sf.net/p/dotnetrdf/binaries-nightly
Note that our developers may be maintaining their own additional public/private repositories in order to work on new features.
You can find our old source code in our SVN repository at http://svn.code.sf.net/p/dotnetrdf/svn/
Note that the majority of the commit history should be present in our Mercurial repositories as we did a conversion of our SVN repository when we moved to Mercurial. Some commits pre 2010 are missing because our SVN layout was not consistent with the standard SVN layout prior to that.
